CVE-2022-31233

Adjacent authenticated privilege escalation

Published Aug 31, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Privilege escalation in Dell Unisphere for PowerMax before 9.2.3.15 allows remote authenticated users on an adjacent network to access restricted functions. Dell identifies the flaw as proprietary code but has not published the affected component or the operation that fails to enforce privilege boundaries. Exploitation requires low-privileged access from an adjacent network and grants functions outside the assigned role, with no reported service interruption.
